Newtown Pippin (Sold by the pound)
A venerable old variety originating in New York in the early 1700’s. There are two recognized Newtown Pippins – Green Newtown Pippin and Yellow Newtown Pippin. One is the originator of the other, but as to which came first is unknown. Yellow Newtown Pippin is the most well-known and a long-time southern favorite. It is a medium to large apple, greenish-yellow in color with hints of pink at the stem end. The yellowish flesh is firm, crisp, and very aromatic. One reviewer described it as, “tasted just like the green apple flavored Jolly Ranchers. Yum! Just the right combination of sweet and tart”. Newtown Pippin is a notably versatile apple, being considered excellent for hard cider. A good storage apple ripening in October and keeping into February or later.
